This nonet, Nurture, has the proper nine-to-one descending syllable lines and sees God's people as the tended sheep. Cared for and safe. Nice.

I like this poem a lot. If a shepherd is tending a flock of sheep, he must have some border collies to help him bring the sheep home. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you very much, and also for your good wishes. Yes, the dogs do a great job, so highly skilled, capable and clever.

Your poem's theme you can never go wrong with especially believers like myself. Creatively you placed each word and expressed how Shepherds love their sheep.
I could feel religious overtones. Well done.

    Thank you for a great review, and yes, I had been thinking about Psalm 23.

The poem fits the criteria for the contest prompt. The shepherd loves his sheep and even knows them all by name. Just like the shepherd, Jesus would go to the ends of the earth to keep us (his lambs) safe and happy. Good luck with the contest.

Ciao mystery poet!

You have 5 votes now.

I enjoyed your read ..it reminded me of our farmers who take the cows to forage from 1000 to 2.000/2.500 metres between the end of June to late Sept.

It's tough work for the men but a healthy change for the cows.

The milk produced up there is considered better, hence the cheese produced on site everyday , is highly sought after.

Take care!

    Thank you very much Tempeste! Yes, whether sheep or cattle, there is a lot of love, thought and care which goes into their well-being.

    Cows give us milk from which we produce, cheese, butter and other important products .

    Chickens idem eggs, meat

    All farm animal should be cared for and respected and not just exploited.

    Take care!

Excellent entry for the Nonet Poem Contest writing prompt. Good nonet poetic form. It draws upon emotions and it presents strong images..

I like the theme of a shepherd.

Good luck in the contest.

I'm using my last six star rating for you. I have to give it to someone who made a nonet rhyme and makes sense. Very nice job. Good luck in the contest.

Very nice Nonet is cascading center form. The theme is spiritual and reminded me of the 23rd Psalm. The chosen photograph crowned your piece perfectly. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sally :))

This is an excellent nonet poem. It follows the required format of course, but also:
Shape - beautiful
Rhyme Scheme - moves the poem along admirably
Story - clear
Flow - no problems

This rating does not count towards story rating or author rank.
